Implications for Users
Once devices reach EOL, security updates cease, and new features are no longer available. Users can continue using their devices or explore custom ROMs. This marks the end for these models, and users may consider upgrading to newer devices with longer support, such as the Xiaomi 15 series or Redmi K70 series. For those interested in other budget-friendly options, the Samsung Galaxy A06 5G might be worth considering. You can also explore the latest updates with Xiaomi HyperOS 2.
